Sometime during the spring term when I was busy spending hours of time selecting a company and selecting plays to produce this summer - and griping about it - someone asked me, "Why not give it up if it presents so many problems?" The answer was quick, easy, reassuring and it reminded me of our stated purpose: "To provide a training ground tor students with serious interest in pursuing careers in theatre while providing the best quality theatrical entertainment possible tor central Ohio audiences." When we first opened our doors in· 1967 we didn't really know what to expect. Now, here we are closing our 7th season and 35th production on the most successful year in our history (largest number of season tickets and largest total audience). Additionally, we added a Children's Theatre production that was so successful we plan to continue next season. During 7 seasons about 140 students have worked in the company and 16 directors have staged plays. We are proud of these accomplishments, our training for students, and especially proud of our audiences, for without you none of the above is possible. Thank you tor your participation and support! I would be remiss if I did not express appreciation to numerous people and organizations for their support. Special thanks to Otterbein College for providing facilities, to the Patrons of this and past seasons, whose donations make it possible for us to secure fine young talent for the company. The area news media, particularly the Public Opinion, Columbus Dispatch and Citizen-Journal, have made it possible for us to operate by providing superb coverage throughout the season. I would also like to express appreciation to the staff members and students who have worked approximately 10-12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 7 weeks to bring you the 6 productions of this summer. At one point we had four shows either currently in production or rehearsal - who knows how the right lines ever managed to be spoken in the right play! To all the company, guest directors and designers, a hearty "Thank you - well done." Charles W. Dodrill
